Manager John Hill said: “Although I am very saddened to lose Kev Barry as first team coach due to his RAF commitments, I am delighted that Graham has decided to join us.

“He brings with him a wealth of experience and is looking forward to the challenge ahead.”

Hyde started his career with the Owls in 1988, racking up 174 appearances, scoring 11 goals.
